Collaborators and friends in real life, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, are co-anchors on screen in their hit Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show. They have known each other for over 20 years, and I’m not surprised they share the same taste in fashion.

Kicking off the 41st Annual PaleyFest LA at the Dolby Theatre on Friday, Witherspoon and Aniston wore coordinating black outfits as they participated in a panel discussion about their series, The Morning Show, which has been renewed for a fourth season.

Both actresses embraced quiet luxury and chose elegant business-casual attire, Aniston in pants and Witherspoon in a pencil skirt, which fit the event.

Elegant Simplicity: Reese Witherspoon’s Pencil Skirt Ensemble

Showcasing her signature sleek and classic sense of style, Witherspoon wore a modest pencil skirt and a fitted long-sleeved top with a boat neck.

While I appreciate understated elegance, this looks too simple and dull. Perhaps a stylish jacket or a dainty necklace would have added some flair. A hint of design or pattern would have been perfect, too. Still, I liked the way it accentuated Reese’s physique.

At least Reese had on a few rings adorning her French-manicured hands. She wore thick gold hoop earrings peeking through her golden wavy locks, adding a gleaming accent to the otherwise plain black ensemble.

Fortunately, Reese’s face card never declines. She looked beautiful with soft pink makeup, highlighting her mesmerizing blue eyes with mascara and eyeliner. She also applied pink blush on her cheeks and a dab of pink lip gloss on her lips.

The Legally Blonde star teamed her minimalist black ensemble with glossy black patent leather pumps for a sleek, monochromatic look. I like how the delicate ankle straps and pointy toes emphasize the outfit’s feminine appeal. The stiletto heels, which enhanced the elegance, accentuated her 5’1” height.

Chic Minimalism: Jennifer Aniston’s Turtleneck and Trousers

Similar to Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston has a penchant for minimalist, timeless silhouettes that are sophisticated and practical.

For her PaleyFest look, the Friends star opted for a sleek, chic, sleeveless turtleneck top cut from stretchy rib-knit fabric that naturally conforms to her body. She neatly tucked it into black cigarette trousers that further accentuated her slim figure.

I particularly like the split hem as it gave the sleek, straightforward style a more contemporary vibe. Plus, it allowed us to glimpse her shoes—a pair of black pointed peep-toe boots.

I love how the shoes made the whole look seamless. At first glance, I even thought she was wearing pantaboots.

Jennifer sported a French manicure, just like Reese. She also added gold jewelry to the ensemble, consisting of a bracelet and rings. A whimsical pair of dangling earrings completed her accessories.

Her shoulder-length blonde hair was styled straight with a side part, while her striking features, including her blue eyes, were accentuated with mascara, pink blush, and pink lips.
